Exodus 2:11-22
11Now it cameH1961 about in thoseH1992 daysH3117, 1when MosesH4872 had grownH1431 up, that he wentH3318 out to his brethrenH251 and lookedH7200 on their 23hardH5450 laborsH5450; and 4he sawH7200 an EgyptianH4713 beatingH5221 a HebrewH5680, oneH4480 of his brethrenH251. 12So he 5lookedH6437 thisH3541 wayH3541 and that, and when he sawH7200 thereH369 was noH369 oneH376 around, he 6struckH5221 downH5221 the EgyptianH4713 and hidH2934 him in the sandH2344. 13He wentH3318 out 7the nextH8145 dayH3117, and beholdH2009, twoH8147 HebrewsH5680 were 8fightingH5327 with each other; and he saidH559 to the 9offenderH7563, “WhyH4100 are you strikingH5221 your companionH7453?” 14But he saidH559, “10WhoH4310 madeH7760 you a 11princeH8269 or a judgeH8199 overH5921 us? Are you 12intendingH559 to killH2026 me as you killedH2026 the EgyptianH4713?” Then MosesH4872 was afraidH3372 and saidH559, “SurelyH403 the matterH1697 has become knownH3045.” 15When PharaohH6547 heardH8085 of thisH2088 matterH1697, he triedH1245 to killH2026 MosesH4872. But 13MosesH4872 fledH1272 from the presenceH6440 of PharaohH6547 and 14settledH3427 in the landH776 of MidianH4080, and he satH3427 downH3427 15by a wellH875.
16Now 16the priestH3548 of MidianH4080 had sevenH7651 daughtersH1323; and 17they cameH935 to drawH1802 waterH1802 and filledH4390 the troughsH7298 to waterH8248 their father’sH1 flockH6629. 17Then the shepherdsH7462 cameH935 and droveH1644 them awayH1644, but 18MosesH4872 stoodH6965 up and helpedH3467 them and wateredH8248 their flockH6629. 18When they cameH935 to 19ReuelH7467 their fatherH1, he saidH559, “WhyH4069 have you comeH935 back so soonH4116 todayH3117?” 19So they saidH559, “An EgyptianH4713 deliveredH5337 us from the handH3027 of the shepherdsH7462, and whatH1571 is moreH1571, he evenH1571 drewH1802 the waterH1802 for us and wateredH8248 the flockH6629.” 20He saidH559 to his daughtersH1323, “WhereH335 is he then? WhyH4100 is it that you have leftH5800 the manH376 behindH5800? InviteH7121 him 20to have somethingH3899 to eatH398.” 2121MosesH4872 was willingH2974 to dwellH3427 with the manH376, and he gaveH5414 his daughterH1323 22ZipporahH6855 to MosesH4872. 22Then she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to 23a sonH1121, and he namedH7121H8034 him 24GershomH1647, for he saidH559, “I have beenH1961 25a 26sojournerH1616 in a foreignH5237 landH776.”
